SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 634,354, dated October 3, 1899.

Application filed September 13, 1898. Serial No. 690,860. (No model.)

T on whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, CHARLES MARSHALL J oNEs and ALEXANDER LE RoY HARVEY, of Baxter Spriugs,in the county of Cherokee and State of Kansas, have invented a new and Improved llledicament-Oarrier, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of our invention is to provide a medicament-carrier especially adapted for use in the treatment and prevention of diseases of the male genital organs by absorption of the medicine through the glands and to so construct said carrierthatit will be simple, efiective, and economic, and adjustable to any such organ.

The invention consists in the novel construction and combination of the several parts, as will be hereinafter fully set forth,

and pointed out in the claim.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a vertical section taken through both sides of the device ready for use. Fig. 2 is a central vertical section taken on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section taken on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is an edge View of the complete device folded for shipment, and Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the carrier only. g

The body of the device consists of a band A, either'solid or tubular, made of rubber fabric, a combination of rubber and fabric, oil-silk, or other soft or pliable material, and the ends of the band are held in juxtaposition by an elastic strip a. The strip a is made to extend along the outside of the body and is secured thereto by cover-straps a, cemented or otherwise fastened to the body. The medicine is applied to the outside of the band or cover-strip in the form of an ointment or paste Z), and said ointment or paste is so prepared that it is semisolid and will not dissolve unlesssubjected to a certain degree of heat.

In Fig. 4 we have illustrated the complete device folded, the inner faces of the band being brought together, which is the position of the device when packed for storage or for shipment. The prepared band is placed behind the glans penis, where by the heat of the body the medicament is dissolved,and the band is allowed to remain until its medicinal covering is completely absorbed. The device is self-adjusting, may be worn with comfort, and willinsure the remedy reaching the parts intended to be treated.

Having thus described our invention, we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- Asurgical appliance,havingaflexible band, an elastic strip extending between the ends of the band to join the same with each other, and cover-straps secured over the outer faces of the ends of the band and over the flexible strip, to secure the flexible strip to the band.
